Tal* smiled and said, "You know, whenever you talk about our future kid, you always say him."
"Oh. Really?" It took me by surprise, and I chuckled.
We were talking about our work schedules and the possibility of a new position opening up in my department. I work second shift and that is not so kid friendly. While the new position may get me home slightly earlier, I would lose some of that time with a longer commute. More importantly, the hours are not guaranteed as they may be adjusted based on need and I could end up with the same schedule. Better to stick with the known for now.
But, it is still kind of funny to me that in our conversations about a possible future child that my default is boy. In my mind's eye it flips back and forth between a girl or a boy. Although, what comes tumbling out when I speak is boy. Hmm...
*I'm switching to referring to my hubby as Tal because typing the tilde following T is a bit annoying and old.
